Visceral Histories, Visual Arguments is a three-year initiative (2022-2025) under the co-direction of Kate Elswit (with support from the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC, ref: AH/W005034/1)) and Harmony Bench (with support from OSU’s Global Arts and Humanities Society of Fellows). The core project team also includes Tia-Monique Uzor and Nicola Plant. Visceral Histories, Visual Arguments engages with emerging digital techniques and technologies from the perspective of dance-based knowledge practices to further investigate how a data-driven approach that is tailored to the medium of dance can transform the use of digital tools to evidence and elaborate the historical study of embodied knowledge more broadly. Visceral Histories, Visual Arguments curates historical data that centres dance-based knowledge practices to create palpable visual arguments in the form of digital visualizations and immersive experiences, guided by choreographic principles.
